The phone call that killed Gretzky-to-Canucks - Sportsnet.ca

Quote:

If not for one pushy phone call back in 1996, Wayne Gretzky would have been a Vancouver Canuck.

Back in the summer of 1996, John McCaw, then owner of the Canucks, thought his team would be able to sign the Great One as a free agent after he had spent a half-season with the St. Louis Blues. The late Pat Quinn, then Vancouver’s president and general manager, was in charge of the negotiations.

“The Canucks had (Gretzky) signed at night verbally, and he (told Quinn), ‘Look. I’ll sign the papers formally in the morning,’ Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman told Sportsnet 590 The Fan’s Brady & Walker, Friday.

“McCaw got on the phone to Quinn (Vancouver’s president and GM) and said, ‘We want this done tonight.’ “

Quinn told McCaw that Gretzky was committed and not to worry.

“No, no, no. We’re doing this tonight. I want it formalized. No questions,” McCaw instructed Quinn.

Quinn called Gretzky back and asked him to sign the papers that night.

Gretzky replied with: “I told you I’d sign them the morning.”

“Nope,” Quinn said. “I need to have it tonight.”

The whole deal blew up over that, Friedman explained.

Gretzky, we know, also considered joining the Toronto Maple Leafs that off-season, before finally signing with the New York Rangers, where he would play the final three seasons of his career.

“It was a difficult summer. At one point I thought I was going to be a Vancouver Canuck and it fell through the wayside,” Gretzky said on the same radio show in 2013. “Everything happens for a reason, and I ended up signing with the New York Rangers… and truly enjoyed it.”

This is new and exciting

count bettman is on 1040
TSN 1040 Vancouver | Player

looks like hes in town for the sabres/canucks game

:lawl: second half collapse coming right up!

if we are going to lose to any team it will be the Sabers lol

3rd string goalie :heckno:

Please don't let it be another game where the Canucks make the 3rd string goalie look like the second coming of Patrick Roy

Watch Matt Hackett get a shutout...
I actually want him to just for the lulz.
If there's one record the Canucks can break it's getting shutout for the longest consecutive minutes.

BO!

Start the 2nd with a PP

Hahhaha finally.
I never really noticed how bad the goal song was cus I haven't heard it in a while

Well that has been a good start to the 3rd

Now that that ugly streak is over and there's no chance to set any nhl record time to focus on running the score
Might as well now lol

Higgins scored? Did hell also freeze over?

2nd star buddy!

GO MONICA

Solid game by the boys tonight abit of a slow start but good finish! Also liked the new guy kenins play for solid forward strong on the puck, decent wheels, and can hit too!

Trade Tanev away, we are essentially losing Edler as well...

I'm also not sold on proclaiming a project depth d-man as our PP quarterback. If he's that good, the other team wouldn't have given him away for virtually nothing.

Our PP is built around the twins working off the right half boards. It has been for the past 5 years. When we had no legitimate right shot d-man working the pp shot, you'd think that the team could adapt that strategy to work off the left half boards to set up the many left shot d-man on our roster... Yes it's been figured out, but that's mostly because 3 guys stay in 1 spot while Hank and Dank pass it back and forth to each other repeatedly until the defender gets bored and lets up a bit to create an opening. I think it will require more than a designated PP quarterback to change that unfortunately.
